Alternate Final Smashes

Final Smashes add depth to Smash, and they are visually pleasing as well. However, some argue that certain Final Smashes do not fit their character's personality and falsely represent them. Here we discuss what another possiblity for a character's Final Smash could be. My list:

Mario Super Mario: Mario reverts to his pixelated form and the Starman music plays. Anyone Mario makes contact with is sent flying.

Link Double Claw Shot: Link uses his right arm to latch onto a foe. He then uses his left clawchot in a drilling motion. He then throws the for. This is very similar to Tri-Force slash, but it uses Link's arsenal more fully.

Samus Phazon Fusion: Samus glows with a dark aura. She can now shoot phazon from her arm cannon. After a brief period of time, her suit looses energy and falls apart (ZSS comes out).

Pikachu Volt Tackle: I don't like how Volt Tackle is portrayed. Pikachu should charge the attack similar to Fox Fire then dash towards a foe. That can be done multiple times before the FS elapses.

Diddy Kong: I am not too familar with Diddky Kong's repretoire of attacks, but his Fianl Smash should've been different.

Ike Radiant Aether: Ike shoots the foe into the air like he currently does. he then charages up a slash and sends the foe flying horizontally. Ike heals 20% damage after this attack.

The rest to me seem pretty reasonable. I am still content with them, but I prefer the ones I stated.

I like the idea of having alternate Final Smashes. I actually thought of it myself but never posted it. Maybe they could make it so that if you press A instead of B, you get your other Final Smash. Though I also think it's hard to really come up with 2/3/more Final Smashes for every character. I'd love to see Yoshi strangle someone with his tongue and throw him into another character, maybe for a quick KO. :p Just one idea.

Actually, this could be THE answer for players who only want to play as Samus/Zero Suit Samus, as you can choose wether you use the transforming Final Smash, or the non-transforming one. Not likely to happen, but it could be awesome like this.

But some Final Smashes are good because you can actually walk around and attack your opponents while still having the Firey-thingey charged. For example, as Samus you can knock your opponent out of the stage with an Aerial (uses the A button) and use the Zero Laser to Edgeguard (B button).
Maybe by using Either B or B> they could've made it so that you could use your other final smash. But at this point of development it is really unlikely (or slightly impossible) that each character could have 2 or more FSs.

PRESS 2! PRESS 2! PRESS 2!



There are probably characters for whom they'll have a tough time coming up with even one final smash, let alone two. It is interesting however, how many final smashes differ from what people here hoped they would be, or thought was the obvious choice.

Sonic: Chaos control- freeze the world to rack up damage on non-moving opponents.

Fox: Arwing- He could jump into an arwing and fly quickly to the background (In a Corneria kind of way.) and shoot from the background rapidly for a short amount of time.

Peach: Angry princess- She could use one of her various emotions from the "Super Princess Peach" game.

Ike: True Ragnell; Ike's sword would get longer and he could swing it rediculously fast even with only 1 hand, all slashes also cause a golden shockwave to travel a small distance from the sword

Would be more true to fire emblem in every way.

Pit- Recieves his "golden armor"
Mario-Becomes "BIG MARIO" (Works like Gigabowser)
Yoshi- Eats everyone.. turns them into a giant egg and spits it upward. Yoshi jumps on top of it.. starts running and headbutts it toward the ground. (Giant Explosion)
Donkey Kong-Summons Rambi the Rhino and rides him around.
Kirby- Mic Kirby

Um..yeah that is a cool idea. But, my original thought was changing some characters Final Smashes. I have thought of Dual Final Smashes as well, but that's not what I meant.

There should be a small chance with Samus to turn into the SA-X monster form. That would be awesome.

I like the idea, but I find it impossible to put in the game without another delay. They probably still have half the roster that they haven't yet, and two final smashes for each character sounds like a lot to do before February.
It would be cool to see it done, though. :)

Having alternat FS's might be kind of... dumb? Or just useless. If the FS's aren't exactly alike, then one is bound to be blatantly better than the other. So the other one would be left hanging... but I guess it would still be cool, because they could make an alternative FS that cover what the other one doesn't have, like since Link can only hit one target at a time, he could get an AE or freely moveable FS... but I guess that was the whole point.

This is about Final Smashes you'd RATHER have, not having two in the game.

Totally agree with the Angry princess idea however it wouldnt be bad if she goes through her other emotions as well...
and for the Fox idea meh... I would rather have the arwing saved for Falco if he returns since he does specialize at Arwing piloting

Pokemon Trainer FS: Raichu

Pokemon Trainer returns the current Pokemon and sends out his fourth Pokemon, Raichu! Raichu is fairly fast and has high and long jumps. It can charge up an immensly powerful ThunderPunch! It can send giant balls of electric energy with Zap Cannon! Raichu can also send down a shower of lightning bolts using the all powerful Thunder!

Booyah.

Diddy Kongs is perfect how it is...as are everyone elses the only one i think should be changed is DKs.

This post makes me think it is about having two FS's. Alternate can also mean just having another choice, not necessarily replacing it.

Yeah, I agree with regalbuster, DK's sucks from what I've seen in the demo vids. I does almost nothing unless the opponent has a lot of damage, plus it is verrrrry easy to avoid.

In Mario RPG Peach had a move called Psych Bomb (if I remember right). Bombs rained down on the enemies. I'd like it if there was a 8% chance that instead of peaches, it would be bombs falling from the sky in Peach's FS.

I hope Sheik and Zelda are the same character and each have a different FS so you can use any final smash depending on the situation.

Link: He should use Din's Fire from OoT. (Seriously, what is Triforce Slash?)

Diddy: Definately his guitar super attack from DK64. That would be awesome.

Fox: Arwing anybody? This just seemed obvious.

Pokemon Trainer: Throw out some super powerful 4th pokemon. Maybe Dragonite since he's not in a
pokemball.

DK: I don't know, anything is better than what he has now.

Pikachu: Evolve into Raichu? He would just be an all-around better pikachu that would last for 1 life

I got an idea.

Samus alternate final smash: Doesn't transform you into ZSS afterwards.
Zero suit samus alternate final smash: Doesn't turn you back into Samus afterwards.

For people that want a certain fighting style, this could be useful.
